In my experience, most people are better off just trying to sell their portfolio and buy a larger asset.

Might be a way to get some cash quicker or maybe get a buyer for the land quicker if you can show them they could pull 1k an acre by having someone come clear cut the parcel after they buy it.The local population seems very limiting too.

Quote from @Kyle Carter: I want to start buying houses and placing Section 8 tenants in them, but I need some help figuring out where to start.

Tell the buyers if they want a house that is up to current code , buy a brand new one . 

All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

Franky,You would use a Foreign National or DSCR loan for buying a property in the US while in Canada. 

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Max Ferguson:Considering buying a property with (what seems to be) a well put together yet unpermitted ADU.

Are you building or buying a turnkey primary?

Now you just need to raise funds to buy more of them.

Further, I as a matter of course, place a “friendly” lien on all properties I buy for cash, so there was little equity in the condo.
